mplayer won't play ogg vorbis [solved]

For some reason the mplayer from arch wont play ogg vorbis files.
they are made with oggenc
I have tried to compile mplayer from source but got the same result. (yes I have ogglib, vorbis-tools)

$ mplayer 01.ogg

What does ogginfo say about your .ogg files?
Will ogg123 play them?

Sure I did
Listed under _working_ codecs at
http://mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/codecs-status.html

OggVorbis Audio Decoder      0x73627276      libvorbis      OggVorbis driver using libvorbis

as for ogginfo:

$ ogginfo 01.ogg
Processing file "01.ogg"...

New logical stream (#1, serial: 61f71d79): type vorbis
Vorbis headers parsed for stream 1, information follows...

And yes both ogg123 and xmms play them fine
